narran CREEK, nrrorirfmivV `Application mea. september en ,"ieze.fseriai"fiiqfeeaeee fl" This invention is an improved window sash fastener adapted tobe securedtoV thek Window frame at right angles to lthezsliding sash, said fastener being capable of an eccen-V stric clampingaction against the. sash; and the principal objects of the invention are to provide a window sash fastener which will not mar the sash.; which may be readily enf gaged and will be very effective inV holding- 10 the sash in any adjusted position; which will prevent rattling of the window and will'prevent the window from being` raised from the outside; and which is economica-l to manufacture and is easily installed. n

Further objects-"of theinvention are to providea'window sash fastener or lock the operationof whichvdoes not depend upon any spring or' other parts either attached to the fastenerror to the window sashforV winf dow frame; also to provide a-fastener the operation of which does not dependuin any way upon any particular type ofwindowV sash, but which can be attached or usedwith any ordinary window sash without altera- 25 tion thereof; also to provide a. fastener the operation of which Vis entirely Vautomatic except that when'the Window is being raised or lowered the fastener must be held out ofV engagement with the sash, and which iinmediately upon releaseV Awill wedge litself against the sash and? `hold it stationary inf anyposition desired. f y

n Other minor objects of the invention be hereinafter set forth. Y y 35' I will explain the invention'with reference to the accompanying drawing which` lillustrates one practical embodiment thereof to enable others to adopt and use the same ;f ,Y and will summarize in the claims thenovel features vof construction,"and novel coinbinations of partsffor which protection" is desired.V Y VIn said drawings: p n 1 Fig. 1 is a perspective view ofa portion of a window showing my'- novel sash fastener secured to the side of the window .frame atright angles to the sliding sash. n,

The disksl'. and 2 are eccentrically mounted on a base plate 4 of rectangular frameA by screws 4a or the like, said base plate 4 having at its center.v an oset portion 4b, which portion is perforated to receiverV a rivet 5, one head 5f* of therivet being shape attachedto vthe side-of the Window i l housed under the offset portion 4b as shown in Fig. 3; and the rivet V5 extending through eccentrically located perforations in the 'disks 1 and 2aand riveted over sameY to sercurethe parts l, 2, andfl together. The ingner disk 2 is` preferably provided with an Yoffset hub portion 2? adapted to lbear against theolfsetportion `4." of plate 4c; and the outer disk lxis'stalnpedrwitha handle lb whereby the diskslf and -.2 can bereadily lb ,is disposedV diametrically opposite the 3 willbe out'of contactv with the sash B.

'ffPreferably handle i lrivet head 5 so'that when the handle l" is in horizontal position (asin Fig. 2) the tire 90 The sash fastener inay be applied to any Y window frame.'` The base .plate 4 of the Y sashk fastener should besecured gto Vframe A! ink such position 'Y that when the n handle is in horizontal position (Fig. 2) the sashk B can slide past the tire 3, but if the handle 1b should drop slightly the eccentricty of the disk will cause the tire 3 to come in contact With sash B and any opening move- 5 ment of the sash will increase the Wedging action by tending to further rotatefthe r`ubber tired disk. The operation of the sash fastener is entirely automatic. When the' Window isfbeingraisedor lowered the fastener must be .h'eldinf such position that handle 1b is perpendicular to the sash, and y v immediately upon release of the handle lb the same will drop and the diskI will Wedge 15 in any adjus'tedposition', preventing .rattling thereof,- andpreventing the 'Window ysash frombeing raised.

Iclaim: n l 'A m A sash fastener, comprisingA a circular body formed of two stamped disks placed back' to back; the peripheries of the-disks being oppositely flanged toform a tire holding groove; the outer disk havingv ahandle and the inner disk having an eccentrically ldis- O posed offsethubfportion; a tire in said groove .projecting beyond theperipheries of the flanges.; a haseplate` adapted to be secured to av Window frame; and a pin securing the disks todether and pivotally connecting 30 themto thertbase plate.
